Rensselaer Republican, Volume 14, Number 42, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 July 1882 — True Republicanism. [ARTICLE]

True Republicanism.

For the Republican. The Democratic cabinet met last weekend slopped over in a peculiarly shrewd and cunning article signed “A Republican.” The thoughts are clothed in Democratic vestments. The Republicans met in convention last Spring and adopted with unanimity the primary plan of selecting nominees. The ’’kitchen cabinet” of our County Auditor has decided that this was wrong. The good Republicans of the townships severally selected members of the County Committee in their own way. There has been no change. The scribe of this new boss dictator and ring-master being of those who ‘makg and believe’ dresses their wishes in the robes of assertion. *Our Central Committee declared their want of bias on 15,000 tickets printed for use at the primary and yet these boss libelers invent a “ring” that discouraged, intimidated and bull-dozed skillful politicians. My dear wise heads sailing under such an honorable title why not materialize those “skillful politicians” and flaunt their names to the light? In the form of glittering generality s you publish statements that are “as baseless as the fabric of a vision.” Our Central Committee will not spend much time fighting evil conceptions that must necessarily prove abortions. Give us facts under whatever name you “slop over” Mr. Sentinel, and we are willing to treat them according to the dictates of right and justioe. A candidate for Senator will be nominated July 29th, 1882 Dr. Maxwell is too “good and true” a Republican to be affected by Democratic taffy. He will support the nominee of the convention. The primary election was fairly conducted—its results are acquiesced in—and the erratic assertions in the Sentinel are born of desire, “the wish, being father to the thought.” ATbh»Bi>ublicul.
